1-Sample Proportion Test
Analyze PhaseTest whether an observed proportion (defect rate, pass rate, yield) is significantly different from a target or historical value. Uses the z-test for proportions.
Events, defects, passes, etc.
e.g. 0.20 for 20%
Blue bar = observed proportion. Vertical line = hypothesised proportion.
H₀: p = p₀ = 20.0%
H₁: p ≠ p₀ (two-tailed)
z = 1.237, p = 0.2159 ≥ 0.05. Fail to reject H₀ — the observed proportion (23.5%) is not significantly different from 20.0%.

[17.62%, 29.38%]
The CI contains p₀ = 20.0% — consistent with H₀.
